However, if your customer has an XP product key, re-using that would be OK.
And more than likely, you won't have to call in for approval unless you're
using the same key repeatedly on multiple machines – it will just activate
online automatically.



But if you are building a machine for a client who has no existing product
key to re-use, then I'd say buy the media/key for $30 and pass along the
cost. It is time, I think, that customers are forced to think about the
decision they're making to stay with XP and if it causes them a little pain
to do so, not such a terrible thing.
